My bet is Al Gore will run, but only after the blood bath between the Obama and Clinton camps. He will announce after the mud slinging ends. It should be a close race between Gore and McCain.

Looks like McCain will get some competition after all. Mr Giuliani - who was dubbed "America's Mayor" after the 9/11 attacks - enjoys national name-recognition and early opinion polls show him running ahead of his Republican rivals in crucial early primary states such as New Hampshire.

Hillary Clinton has made the expected announcement! She says: "I am worried about the future of our country and I want to help put it back on the right course, and I believe that I am best positioned to be able to do that." Support Hillary!

Wow. This is the most talent the Democrats have thrown at the nomination in 100 years (or so). Edwards, Clinton, Obama. If McCain weren't in the game, it would look like a solid Democratic victory in 2008.

Barack Obama is peaking too early. He's a good story, but people will be tired of the fresh face and youthful enthusiasm before the serious campaigning even begins.

As the 9/11 NYC Mayor and a Republican, Giuliani brings the most compelling story. The platform is simple, "America has never been stronger and it's time to leave Iraq." The Democrats supplied him with the "stick" and a reallocated budget provides the "carrot" for both parties. America wants to replace the image of an exhausted mayor standing over the World Trade Center rubble with that of the lastest President of the United States unveiling the Freedom Tower to the world.

Barack Obama will peak at the NH primary, and then the country will lean towards another candidate. The trajectory will be similar to McCain in 2000.

The race is getting interesting. Mitt Romney who has officially entered the 2008 presidential race says: "I don't believe Washington can be transformed from within by lifetime politicians," and "There've been too many deals, too many favors, too many entanglements." These comments are swipes at Romney's top rival for the GOP nomination, John McCain.

Although Hillary and Barack are capturing the headlines right now, I find it hard to believe that America by 2008 will be ready to elect a woman or African-American as President. Until 2012 at the earliest, regrettably this reality can only be found in TV shows and the movies.

McCain is the best choice of all candidates, Republican or Democrat. Support Senator John McCain for President.

Barack Obama is a creation of the news media. He is a virtual unknown with no substantive record at this time. The media's fixation on Obama is more a statement on the lack of visible leadership in the Democratic party at this time. Only time will tell if Obama has the right stuff.

Support Tom Vilsack who is currently serving as the 40th Governor of the state of Iowa. On Dec. 5 Vilsack announced that he favored withdrawing most of the U.S. forces from Iraq and leaving a small force in the Northern region for a limited period. While acknowledging that a withdrawal would lead to more violence, he feels that is the only way for for the Iraqi government to take control of their country.
